Note: the contents of this page as well as those which precede and follow, must be read as a continuation and/or overlap in order that the continuity about
a relationship to/with the dichotomous arrangement of the idea that one could possibly talk seriously about peace from a different perspective as well as
the typical dichotomous assignment of Artificial Intelligence (such as the usage of zeros and
ones used in computer programming) ... will not be lost (such as war being frequently used to describe an absence of peace and vice-versa). However, if your
mind is prone to being distracted by timed or untimed commercialization (such as that seen in various types of American-based television, radio, news media and
magazine publishing... not to mention the average classroom which carries over into the everyday workplace), you may be unable to sustain prolonged exposures to
divergent ideas about a singular topic without becoming confused, unless the information is provided in a very simplistic manner.

In fact, Peace... like many human endeavours, has undergone transitional developments
which means both the word and its translation can be altered. Take for example the
following article from the Britannica concerning the efforts of some to establish
peace in the environment of conflict:

Peace People

Also called Community of Peace People

(Peace People is a) peace organization with headquarters in Belfast, Northern Ireland Founded
by Máiread Maguire, Betty Williams, and Ciaran McKeown, it began in 1976 as a grassroots
movement to protest the ongoing violence in Northern Ireland. Hundreds of thousands
of people, not only in Northern Ireland but also in the republic of Ireland and
farther abroad, subsequently participated in protest marches and other manifestations
of support for the movement, and Williams and Maguire received the 1976 Nobel Peace
Prize for their efforts. The Peace People later developed into an internationally
influential nongovernmental organization dedicated to building a peaceful world in
which the highest standards of human and civil rights are upheld.

The Peace People movement was a response to Northern Ireland's “Troubles”—a
period of violent conflict between Protestants and Roman Catholics, a religious
division that often paralleled the political divide between those who supported rule
by the predominantly Protestant United Kingdom (loyalists) and those who favoured a
union with the predominantly Catholic republic of Ireland (republicans). By the early
1970s the unrest had led to an increased presence of British troops in Northern Ireland,
which in turn incited a campaign of bombings and shootings by the anti-British Irish
Republican Army (IRA).

One tragic incident in particular sparked the formation of the movement: on Aug.
10, 1976, three children of Maguire's sister Ann were killed by a careening car after
its driver, an IRA fugitive, had been shot dead at the wheel by British soldiers. The
accident not only personally affected Maguire and Williams—a local mother who
arrived at the scene shortly after the accident occurred—but it also touched an
entire community fed up with violence. As the public reacted to the killings with
prayer vigils and protests, Maguire and Williams spoke to the local media and became
voices for the aggrieved community. Williams, Maguire, and McKeown—a journalist
and nonviolent activist—met on the day of the children's funeral, and a few
days later they founded the Peace People.

McKeown named the movement and wrote its declaration, which read:

We have a simple message to the world from this movement for Peace.

We want to live and love and build a just and peaceful society.

We want for our children, as we want for ourselves, our lives at home, at work, and at play to be lives of joy and Peace.

We recognize that to build such a society demands dedication, hard work, and courage.

We recognize that there are many problems in our society which are a source of conflict and violence.

We recognize that every bullet fired and every exploding bomb make that work more difficult.

We reject the use of the bomb and the bullet and all the techniques of violence.

We dedicate ourselves to working with our neighbors, near and far, day in and day out, to build that peaceful society in which the tragedies we have known
are a bad memory and a continuing warning.

More than 100,000 people signed copies of the declaration, and anti-violence rallies
and protests throughout Ireland and the United Kingdom followed in the six months
after the movement's founding. The rate of violence in Northern Ireland during this
period, as measured by number of fatalities, fell by 70 percent, and it continued to
diminish over the succeeding decades. After the initial rally phase, the movement's
organizers concentrated at the local level, encouraging individuals to form peace
groups, to address issues affecting their neighborhoods, to engage in cross-community
dialogue, and to work with other locales on joint projects.

In subsequent years the Peace People fought for a repeal of the Northern Ireland
(Emergency Provisions) Act, which, among other things, had increased the British army's
powers to arrest and question suspects. In 1981 the group helped establish the Committee
on the Administration of Justice, a human rights organization, to expose and counter
what it saw as the draconian nature of the Emergency Provisions. The Peace People
also campaigned for the rights of both loyalist and republican prisoners and arranged
a bus service to transport visitors to prisons. (The prison program ceased with the
release of political prisoners as part of the Good Friday Agreement of April 10, 1998.)
Another program helped members of paramilitary groups to leave their organizations and,
in some cases, to emigrate for their own safety. In other areas, the Peace People
supported the Integrated Education Movement, which aimed to bridge Northern Ireland's
religious and cultural divisions by establishing interfaith schools. In addition, the
group established a youth program that featured annual peace camps held in various
countries, which allowed young people of different backgrounds to travel abroad and
share their thoughts and ideas in a neutral setting.

The organization ultimately expanded its activities beyond Northern Ireland. It
lobbied internationally on behalf of nuclear disarmament and nonviolent approaches
to conflict resolution, and it sent peace delegations to a number of countries
experiencing conflict—including Iraq, Israel and Palestine, the United States,
Australia, India, and assorted countries in Africa—in order to support those
who advocated nonviolent solutions. The organization also was an instrumental force
behind the United Nations' declaration of the International Decade for a Culture of
Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World (2001–10).

Williams left the Peace People in 1980 and later founded the World Centers of
Compassion for Children International in 1997. Maguire continued to work with the
Peace People and served as its honorary president. In 2006 Maguire and Williams,
along with fellow Nobel Peace Prize winners Shirin Ebadi, Jody Williams, Wangari
Maathai, and Rigoberta Menchú, founded the Nobel Women's Initiative to promote peace,
justice, and women's rights.

Peace Prize. Coauthor of The Vision of Peace: Faith and Hope in Northern Ireland.

One must wonder if such a group would have received the Nobel Peace Prize if their
efforts occurred in a place that didn't have any overt exercises of hostility. In
other words, the Nobel Peace Prize committee is locked into the mentality of recognizing
efforts for peace in a particular way, and does not have a larger appreciation of
what "Peace" actually entails. In fact, one must further wonder how many more Peace
prizes will have to be given over how many more centuries before the idea of "Peace"
is looked at from another perspective?

Yes, there are many throughout history who have been noted for their peaceful
interests and/or efforts in terms of being distinguished by their presence in large
conflicts. The day to day "ordinary" efforts of billions goes unrecognized by the
esteemed Nobel Prize Committee because it too wants to be recognized for recognizing
those who recognize the need for a larger application of peace. And yet, peace is
so often misunderstood as well as the intentions of those that may be described as
a person of peace, even when the claim otherwise. Take for example the case of
Jesus to whom is sometimes given the title "The Prince of Peace". Let's take a look
at what he said, as is written in the Bible:

Matthew 10:34

The foregoing is one of those (very many) verses which becomes reinterpreted to
coincide with the belief of a reader... typically represented as a contrast to what
is written because, only a select few are enabled to correctly interpret the text
and will tell us what they want us to know... just like politicians, judges, and
many others. Truth becomes like so many other things: in the eye of the beholder...
or at least, whomever is the authority in charge at a given moment. You are not to
take the bible literally, but take it as a text which can be "adjusted" to fit
person, place and thing to which it is to be applied (like "fudging"
a tax return or using "creative" accounting methods in different contexts for
different rationalized reasons).

Here's a short poem which emphasizes the situation:

Jesus Brings Division

Jesus is the Prince of Division
he is not the Prince of Peace
Matt. 10:34 takes on a revision,
in the minds of those who preach.

And those that say they're believers
perpetuate the lie on and on
they have joined the church of deceivers,
though many know it is wrong.

Mohammed, Buddha and Jesus
are clouded windows of a bicameral past
echoes of spirits that still deceive us;
graven images that the followers cast.

A discussion about the topic of peace can not go without mentioning religious
precepts of how one should think. The same goes for secular (non-religious) thoughts
which are sometimes restructured to fit "political correctness", or "sexual orientation"
permissibility, or "scientific factuality", "cultural observance", etc... But enough
has been said from this vantage point. Let's now provide some more "threes" examples.
This listing may contain a few repeats of items found on the anatomy page. If you
have come to this page by accident, the contents of this page may not make sense
to you in a discussion about "Peace". You must start at the beginning to get the
idea of what is being done (in terms of information) and why.

3 Classifications for selecting rotation crops: (resulting in a simple 3-patterned
ratio of 1:1:1: requiring 3 fields and 3 years to produce each crop annually)

Zoologists have noted many triads within the human body. It would seem as if
every important function of an organism possesses this basic structure. Such
observations illustrate the fundamental meaning of the triad as the living
wholeness of types of relationship within a complex single structure. It is a
mark simultaneously of a being's unique identity and of its internal
multiplicity, of its relative stability and of the mobility of its components,
of its immanent independence and of its dependence. The triad is as useful a
channel of dialectic in the logical exercise of thought as of movement in
physics and of living matter in biology. The basic rationale of this universal
phenomenon of threes must no doubt be sought in a metaphysics of composite and
contingent being and in a global view of the manifold oneness of being -
appearance, development and destruction (or transformation); or birth, growth
and death; or again, in Astrological tradition, increase, culmination and
decrease.

*** After 3 years of debate, the International
Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has officially announced
(two-patterned abbreviated) names for elements 101 through 109 that were
previously (unofficially) named with three-patterned abbreviations. -This is
another example of regressing from a 3 to a 2.

*** A triadic structure of elements for the Periodic Table was proposed by J.W.
Dobereiner in 1817. The triad is the earliest atomic weight classification of the
elements.

*** The Arthropods are the largest phylum of invertebrate animals with
jointed legs, a segmented body and an exoskeleton, including insects,
crustaceans, arachnids and myriapods. In 1866 Ernst Haeckel proposed a
Monophyletic theory of Arthropoda evolution. In 1894 Moseley proposed a theory
of Arthropoda evolution. Tiegs and Manton (1958), Anderson (1973), and Manton
(1973, 1977) have presented strong arguments in favor of a Polyphyletic theory
of Arthropoda evolution. This third theory is based on evidence derived largely
from comparative embryology and functional morphology which heavily supports
dividing the Arthropods into three natural groups, each with the rank of phylum.
The term "arthropods" thus becomes an indication of a particular grade of
advancement and no longer has taxonomic status. The 3 phyla of this theory are
the Chelicerata, Crustacea and the Uniramia. This theory requires the acceptance
of the idea that an extensive evolutionary convergence has taken place. (In
other words, a "fusion" has/is taking place.)

Tiegs and Manton, to the idea of an original three-segmented head (seen in
modern Onychophora), have added progressively, Mandibular, First Maxillary, and
Second Maxillary (labial) segments, giving rise to the "Monognathous",
"Dignathous", and "Trignathous" conditions, respectively. There has been found
no trace of the Monognathous condition. The Dignathous condition is found in the
Pauropoda and Diplopoda and Trignathous condition is seen in the Chiopoda (in
which the second maxillae remain leglike) and the Symphyla and Hexapoda (in
which the second maxillae fuse to form the labium).

This is a diagram indicating the main features of adult limb structures in arthropods, with the exite/outer ramus more
proximally placed than in crustaceans:

(i) biramous,
(ii) uniramous,
(iii) primitively biramous

As can clearly be seen in the simplified illustration:

The Uniramia have (1) podite,
The Chelicerata have (2) podites and
The Crustacea have (3):

Epipodite - Endopodite - Exopodite, (in spite of the fact that the Crustacea are labeled biramous).

The Oligoneoptera (bees, wasps, ants, beetles, lice, flies, fleas, etc.)
are characterized by the presence of a pupal stage between the juvenile and
adult phases of development. Several theories (and attendant stage labels) have
been proposed to account for the development of the pupal stage within the 3
distinct stage system. The differing theories, except for H.E. Hinton's (I 963)
which has attracted attention said to be due to its simplicity, revolve around
arguments generally centered on:
